The subscriptions that go to make up tho $150,000 are unconditional and sound, and the company will begin operations on a perfectly safe basis. Mr. Lockwoodof Providence, II. I., spent part of lust Friday and Saturday in town, lie inspected the grouud along tlu railroad within the corporate limits, and his judgment is that there are several places that would make suitable mill sitos. The inill will not be located, however, until the organization is effected; then a mill eugineer will be engaged to furnish plans, specifications, &c., nnd the work will go on. The mill will probably be built on Mr. Carwilo's lot in ve<tr of the depot. These who have most carefu'ly studied the subject have no 'doubt of the success of the enterprise.?Xeubtrry lit raid May 2.

Heretofore they allowed them to tnke their chances in the range, and while the cows fared pretty well the owners derived little profit the year round. During-the Summer when grass was good the yield of nulk and butter was fair, but there was much trouble itrgcttrngup-caitle that wandered off from home. The cow deserves more attention than she has ever received. She should be sheltered in bad ' weather, curried and rubbed the same as a favorite horse,and taught to load by a halter.? While we believe Jersey cattle the best butter cows in the world and advise a cross with this breed and our common cattle, we are aware that the mass of our people cannot have Jerseys or even grades. Then the best thing for tlicui to do is to give the common cows ri.oy happen to own fair treatment and they will he amply paid for all their trouble. David M. Miller, Glendale, has a scrub cow that is giving 1"J0 gallons of milk every thirty days. This makes thirty-fivo pounds of butter. Two years ago the cow sold for $15. W. J. Lubanks has two cows and two gallons of the milk will make otic pound of good lirm butter.? Carolina Ssparlan. -*tiv Buaueh* lurgr* or itne' 'rfcceni cyclone is conveyed by this brief statement of Mr. R. F. Jones of Beauregard, Miss., who, the moment he saw the danger coming, called his wife and little hoy into the yard and innde them lie flat on the ground and grasp some small < shrubs which stood within reach : "I put one arm about tii> wife." says Mr. Joues, while . with the other I clasped a small tiee and made my son iie close np to me, and then I said to them, 'Hold on, hold on, for God's sake! it is for life!' and then the wind came. There was a whirl and a roar. I was shaken, ni d heard the crash of my falling house. An instant and it was over. 1 still held my wife in my arms, - but she was insensible, and my boy was still nestling close up to mo, but bruised and bleeding." All three escaped without serious injury, thanks to Mr. Jones's presence of mind and the prompt obedience of his wife and child. ? Tiik Indian Tkouisi.ks.?San Francistcc, May 3.?

Union has now four schools?two for youn ladies and two for boys ?and if they could b Combined under the system of free graded schools in which every citizen of the town would feci . j. 1 ...i . ?_i ? J: institution we could have. And why cannot thi be done? Why, just because our community j is divided into four school factions, and the gen eral good is lost sight of in the effort of Hu adherents of each faction to keep up and widei the breaches between all. This has been th? case in this community for years, destroying tlx harmony and good feeling that-should and other wise would exist among us, and defeating anj attempt at united action upon any plan t< establish an institution that would reflect credil upon the town and attract pupils toil. Thero ii nothing to be gained hut n>?i?n iaI? i?-? - ? town by continuing in this disorganize ! Condi lion, nnd it is time that a "new departure' was ordered by the citizens. It hasalmost come to this, that whenever any measure is presented requiring the united action of the citizens, the school question is cast at it and, like a joint snake, the new measure falls to pioces. Fellow citizens, this is all wrong, nnd we are doing a great wrong to oursolves, if we allow it to oxist any longer. There is neithora proper publio or christian spirit in it. We know we are ''treading on tiftktish ground," but believing we arc right, and that n change in the soliool programme is necessary, we liavo no fears. We belong to neither faction, and arc prompted solely by the consciencious belief that lha divisions in the community upon our schools are doing great injury to the social, moral and educational welfare of the town. , J A Cotton Factory in Union. 1 We arc authorized by a responsible gentleman j in t is town to say that lie will make ono of forty J to raise $lo\),OQO (or the purpose of building n Cotton Factory in the county of Uuion. Surely there ?rd forty persous.ia this County who can command .>4,000 each, or eighty ?2,000, or ono hundred and fifty ?1,000, end are willing to subscrioe it to such a/ laudable and profitable enterprise? Or, if thfre are not a sufficient number able to fcoutrlntartnose sum^, there are hundreds able and witting to subscribe smaller amounts, from $100 to S500.10 make un ilie necessary total. The ball ot intcrpriso is now started in. this County, in the direction we have long tried to send it, and if there is any spirit of public enter* prise among our people, now is a chance to show it. Who is thore in this town will meet the ! offer of our public spirit friend? Who will ' come forward and help us to arouse a public interest in this mnttcr? A nucleus has now been olfored, around which may be gathered all the enterprise of the town and County of Union, for the future advancement and prosperity of every industrial and - commercial interest, and unless those among us f whoarc most deeply interested, havesettled down t with the determination that they trill do nothing towards oncouraging any enterprise that will enure to the public welfare, wc have a right to expect that the business men of this town will at I once take somo determined action in the matter. * Not only trade is going from this County every 1 day, but with it goes almost ov^y dollar of capital that can possibly be take/from business 1 here, to bo invested in properly nd enterprises s in adjoining Counties. And ti s drain upon our financial and business strength will continue, and increase in volume yearly, until we ' shall have scarcely any of cithcj, unless soinc1 thing is done promptly to arrca it. ' If the merchants of this town/rcally have any ' business enterprise in them, now let them show it. B ? i~ I What is the Matter. The ltoard of County Commissioners held their regular monthly meeting last Tuesday nnd a large number of creditors of the County were , again disappointed and put to much iuconve, nlcnce upon bring informed that the Treasurer having ag in failed to report any money in his j hands, they were not allowed to drawcnecks on e him. The result was, many poor croditors of . the County offered their claimSiat a great roj duction from their face. r This cry of "no report from thu Treasurer," t is becoming inconveniently monotonous to those who hold claims against the County, many of whom travel from-ten to twenty inilcsand return home with nothing in their pockets and that cry - ringing in their ears. e It is now about six months since thcTaxbooks r were closeJ. The old Treasurer lias wade his - final settlement with the Comptroller General and there is a good balance to the credit of the County, which the Commissioners are anxious to pay out and the creditors stand greatly in need of, but only ono report has been made to the , present Board since they came into clTico, ina stead of one every month, according to law.? a Sonic one is at fault, that's ccrtaiu. and the I ceditors arc compelled to-suffer serious injury , from it. It arise*5, no doubt, from oither over carefulness or unintentional neglect, for both ? ?- - -*r' - 1 character to permit a suspicion oPwFvng to rest upon thorn. That it will "all come out right in " tho end" no on? doubts, but there is evidently '? a great want'of business promptness that does ? injury to the credit of 'the County as-well as inc dividuals.

The negroes who committed that e diabolical deed cxpoctcl to find a largo sum of ^ money in the house, which they knew Mr. Briggs had received a few days before, but, fortu. nately for him, Mr. Briggs h id deposited it, in r the Bank nere, only taking a small amount to u Florida with him. 3 It costs nothing to deposit money in the Union Bank, where it will he perfectly safe from fire or robbers, and will always* be at the demand of the owner, just as he inay want it fropt twenty-five cents up to the whole nmount. We are suprised that so many of our most sagacious j citizens in this county risk keeping considerable sums in their houses, tempting the cupidity, avarice and villainy of thieves, incendiaries and murderers, when such a safe and convoe ^ nient place of deposit is offered them by the Merchants' and Planters' National Bank of Union. Of course no one doubts tbo solidity of * the Bank, for it is conducted by men of most ( solid business character and upon purely-legitimate and sound business principles.

Money to Loan on Land. The Aiken correspondent of the News aid * Courier says : ? We have an improvement on the 1 Scottish loan companies. A prominent citizen f> of our town represents a Philadelphiacapitalist, who offers to loan money on unincumbered real estate at 10 percent., without the requirements * that it must be fnrin property and worth three f times the amount of the loan, as is required by > tho Scottish companies. I We always objected to tho law passed nt the I last Session of the Legislature, which raised the i price of money from 7 to 10 per cent., for tho benefit of foreign capitalists, under the apecious plea that National Banks could not loan money I on real estate. Any owner. of-unencumbered land can get endorsers for money from the Na! tior.al Banks, to one-half the value of the real estate, by giving a mortgage to Ins en lorsers ? and. many.did get nionoy in that way. We saw no justice in a law giving foreign capitalists a higher price/or their money fteaivour own citizens ore allowed to charge. If the Legislature bad raised the legal interest to 10 per cent, it would have had the aumo effect and attracted enough onpit tl to create a spirit of competition that inigli have often brought the price of money below that figure. We would much rather trust a mortgage in the hands of a friend at home than give it to a corporation of foreigners who cannot feel any greater interest in our welfare than to collect rigidly the money loaned 1 the day it is due. l'ur the Times. | Li; Will Union Force ns to Build the Road Around Piitcl Her. of a North 1'acolkt. and i Mr. Eoitor :?Tuo people of this section lake ?e''c . , one? moro interest in the till betweei yourself and |10 j? the Board of Trade of Union, than you perhaps houn are aware of. You might have told the public great that Union did not appear to wartt another Hail- ,'10 8 road, for wo learn that such is the case. But, partl Mr. Editor, we are not so itucb surprised at pecu this"fact as we are at her reasons for such oppo- ken, sitton. 0 j|1'81 Wo understand that soato of her protuiucnt (j( citizens argue that should the Union, Gaffncy rccei City and Rutherford Railroad be built a large in w portion of the preset trade of Uuion would be t'haii carried to other points.
